Designated Investigation Agency | Asset Evaluation of Residential Land History to Detect Risks from Past Land Categories

Block corporate environmental liabilities. Thoroughly evaluate past land use change history and mixed-use land risks, and fully visualize potential underground contamination through residential land transaction sampling.

This document is a practical guide for the management planning departments and legal and financial personnel of companies engaged in M&A, organizational restructuring, and real estate securitization. It aims to uncover environmental liabilities hidden beneath the land owned or acquired by these companies by examining past land registration categories. Even for residential land other than forests and wilderness, a meticulous review of the historical "land category change records" can visualize the contamination risks of specific hazardous substances that could undermine a company's social credibility. In particular, it focuses on the "mixed-use land risk," which is often ambiguous in usage and prone to contamination risks, and explains strict historical verification methods using public registers and chronological aerial photographs. Furthermore, it covers the introduction procedures for "land sale sampling," which enables definitive financial evaluations, and the process for building public evidence through designated investigative agencies. This highly practical guide aims to mitigate critical corporate risks such as hidden defects and damages related to soil contamination that may be discovered after transactions, thereby supporting reliable corporate value assessment and compliance adherence from a technical perspective.

basic information

This specification is a standard for historical and soil analysis specifically focused on corporate due diligence. It includes tracking land use change history for the past 100 years based on closed registries and digital analysis of land use conditions for mixed-use properties using aerial photographs from four different eras. The sampling process involves official method sampling that covers specific hazardous substances such as organic solvents and heavy metals (collecting soil gas at a depth of 1.0m and surface soil samples), with testing and analysis conducted in-house at a company-owned laboratory registered for measurement certification, under strict precision management in compliance with ISO standards.

Geographical and historical survey

Applications/Examples of results

This survey will be used for asset valuation during corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A), re-evaluation of land assets associated with organizational restructuring of group companies, and environmental risk assessment in real estate trusts and asset securitization. Prior to the contract for the sale of residential land, it is optimal for practical use to extract potential contamination risks, such as volatile organic compounds, from past mixed-use land through tracking land use changes, and to determine the scale of environmental liabilities through sampling. This will facilitate the optimization of acquisition prices, the reflection of risk disclaimer clauses in contracts, and the promotion of sound land transactions in accordance with governance.
